This Mom's Hair Transformation Inspired A Red Carpet Makeover

Who hasn't wanted to channel her alter ego in real life? Mom Gillian Anapoli, 40, always dreamed of being an old-school Hollywood siren. "I was meant to be in that era," she says. "My self-confidence is there, but I was never able to let it shine." As Anapoli discovered, channeling that retro red carpet vixen was easier than she thought thanks to at-home hair color and a little guidance from hair and makeup pros. She used Garnier Nutrisse Nourishing Color Creme in Dark Brown, an easy-to-use cream color formulated with grape seed oil, which added shine and hydration while taking her hair from brownish blonde to glossy brunette.
